OKAY! I have lived here over a year now and have been blessed without seeing a snake, but after reading this post I checked under my bed just in case! LOL, really they are here, but as my aunt from KY told me "I climbed those mountains all the time and never happened upon a bad snake". Now my Grandma would have told you different, and scared us kids something awful when we were young "Just stay out of the garden, them rattlers love my garden". I was honestly in my 40's before anyone told me she was just telling us this to keep us away from the veggies!
I did go over to the new house though, and someone was way ahead of me! There was already wire mesh over the dryer exhaust and the grates around the foundation/crawl space. Yay!
On another note...how come nobody has basements here?
We're planning on relocating to the Wake Forest area in the Triangle. What kind of snakes would I be lucky to find there?
Well, one of them's a black snake everyone around these parts calls Jim. This snake's so bad that the media has dubbed him Jim Black. It's possible this snake might get caged up soon so you might not be lucky enough to get in a tangle with him though.
There's another snake that you'll wanna keep an eye on though if you move anywhere in the state - and this snake's got a name that even sounds snakey: Easley.
OMG im horrified.....we are moving to the Waxhaw/Marvin Area and you have to understand IM TERRIFIED OF SNAKES...Im not going to be able to sleep at night when I move and now i got the hebbee jeebbies...im having anxiety ps dont think im nuts because im really not..My kids like to play in a yard and oh my I dont know what I would do...Can I find out where in Union County they are????
.... I don't think I'm in much danger of getting bit unless I step on one, although I'm hearing copperheads are quite aggressive and will bite if you're even standing next to them! ...
Only if you step on them first... I think your pup is more apt to get ticks - now that's disgusting! and we ARE the Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever hot spot!
Tell 'ya what .... if you see the snake I was formerly married to, shoot him on the spot.
